Ingredients
900g (2lbs) swede turnips
salt and lots of freshly ground pepper
50-110g (2-4oz) butter
caramelised OnionsÂ
Garnish
finely chopped parsley
Method
Peel the turnip thickly in order to remove the thick outside skin. Cut into 2cm (3/4 inch) cubes approx. Put into a high sided saucepan.
Cover with water. Add a good pinch of salt, bring to the boil and cook until soft – this can take between 45-60 minutes. Strain off the excess water, mash the turnips well and beat in the butter.
Taste and season with lots of freshly ground pepper and more salt if necessary. Garnish with parsley, sprinkle with caramelised onions and serve piping hot.
